^Beginning
FUN. We wanted to have fun with
this year’s yearbook. Why not? We had
a tough year last year. We have a rea¬
son to party. Top Hat is 35 years old.
(Who wants to wait for a 50 year cele¬
bration? We could have our own chil¬
dren attending MHS by then. Scary
thought, us with teenagers of our own).
ANYWAY. This is our time for fun.
Think about it. School doesn’t have to
be a bummer. We bring to it our youth.
We breath life into it. We shape it with
our hopes, dreams and experiences.
So, why not have fun with it? We are
teenagers. Our party has just begun.
Let’s Party!.

Opening Theme 5
In the Student Life section we will try to explain stu¬
dent life at Morton High. If somethings seem unclear,
remember we’re at MHS. While in school, students try
to make the most of it by attending school functions
such as games, meets, concerts and dances. Although
high school years are more than homework and tests,
believe it or not, students can have fun in the classroom.
Field trips and outings help keep the monotony limited.
High school is a time of growing, learning and experi¬
encing life. Gossiping, giggling and just plain having fun
are all a part of student life. Teachers, administrators
and counselors affect our lives in one way or another.
That is why students and teachers have to work togeth¬
er to maintain the “Party Spirit’’ throughout school.
Let’s see what the entertainment consisted of this year.

—PROM '87—
Annual Prom Held
On April 24,1987, the class of 1988 presented the annual Prom
at the Wicker Park Social Center.
The theme, “Just You and I,” was chosen because this song
was requested so frequently at the previous Prom.
Theme colors chosen were black and silver, and girls attending
were presented with a red carnation and a chance to win the vase
at their table.
Attending Prom are juniors and seniors with a minimum of 21.5
credits and sophomores with a minimum of 13.5 credits who are
escorted by upperclassmen.
Students who attended Prom were presented with a keychain
and a keepsake booklet containing prom information and a place
to record personal prom information.

Although the weather was cold and rainy on October 2, it did
not spoil the evening for the Governors. It was Morton’s homecom¬
ing game, which started at 7:30 P.M. During halftime, Sue Semon
who was escorted by Ron Bukowski, was crowned queen by Mar-
cela Guerrero, Morton’s queen for 1986. “Being the 1987 home¬
coming queen has been one of the best experiences of my life, so
far. It has fulfilled my high school years here at Morton,’’ said Sue.
Morton’s victory over Clark made the evening a little more special.
The court, which included Christine Capistran, Danielle Denehie,
Dottie Domsic, Sue Semon, Ann Stombaugh, and Karen Sargent,
was nominated by the senior class along with suggestions from ad¬
ministrators.

Jrs. Spark Spirit
Back in the days of yesteryear bonfires were held as spirit
raising functions. In addition to this year’s traditional spirit raising
functions for Homecoming, the Junior class sponsored a bonfire,
which will hopefully become a new Homecoming tradition here
at MHS.
Homecoming spirit was widespread this year as the students
and faculty backed the Govs to a Homecoming victory over the
Clark Pioneers.
In the traditional news, the Seniors won the spirit stick com¬
petition over the Juniors by a very slim margin. Their float,
“Raised on Radio’’, reflected the theme of the same name.

This year’s homecoming was filled with the Governor spirit of
pride and accomplishment. During the annual Homecoming queen
assembly, Mayor Thomas McDermott congratulated Morton’s only
National Merit Scholarship Winner, Brian Stage, Senior.
Also during the queen assembly the vocal ambassador’s
brought pride to our student body, faculty, and guests by performing
“The Words Get in The Way”.
Pride rang throughout the day and night of homecoming as the
students donned a red and grey wardrobe for the pep rally, game
and dance.

18 Inaugural
Winter Formal Held
This year’s annual Inaugural Ball, which was sponsored by
the student association, was given the theme “A Night on the
Town.” Scenery was a view of the Chicago skyline and a horse
drawn carriage of flashing lights.
In order to receive tickets to the turnabout students were re¬
quired to help out with the decorations or bake cookies, etc. Tick¬
ets were $11.00.
Since this annual semi-formal is held here at MHS students
must go out for dinner. As in the past, many students ventured
out into the city of Chicago for dinner and sightseeing, still others
stayed close to home and went to Courtney’s or the Raleigh.

Inaugural 19
The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man-on-the-Moon Mari¬
golds, centers around Beatrice and her relationship between her
two daughters, Tillie and Ruth. Tillie takes on a science experi¬
ment involving marigolds and wins a science fair at her school.
The climax takes place as Beatrice rejects her daughters
success. The theme of the play, Built around Tillie’s experiment,
illustrates a valuable lesson that promising things often begin
in “barren and afflicted soil.” Beatrice is portrayed by senior
Adriana Galvan. Toni Rogers plays a pretty, high strung charac¬
ter named Ruth. Janice Vicory, a contestant in Tillie’s science
fair, is played by senior Angela Moore. Senior Lisa Richardson
portrays Tillie, the science fair winner. Beatrice takes in a border
named “Nanny” who is played by sophomore Lori Brown.

There were many camps attended this past year, not only
by students, but by teachers and parents too. All of these
camps were attended to learn more about the subjects or
sports that they were in. However, where there is work, there
is usually play! All of these camps gave the individuals free
time to do as they pleased. (Within reason.) The teachers and
parents who went to “camp” used their free time by playing
“Wallyball”. This is a game of vollyball played in a racquetball
room so they can hit the balls off the walls. The students
passed their free time in many different ways. At the football
camp, you could always find them eating at any time, or most
students were meeting new people.

News 27
When being an athlete, one must be very disciplined. He
has to concentrate on how well he performs, not only on the
field, court or track but also in the classroom. A feeling of men¬
tal exhilaration comes with completing a physical task. Team
sports may offer the joy or sweetness of victory over a formi¬
dable opponent. An athlete can then discover what fabric he
is really made of. They test their strength against others who
are bigger and stronger than they are. Athletes have to learn
to accept a loss graciously, which is sometimes very difficult
to accomplish. They also must learn how to accept victories,
which is a bit easier to accomplish. Bringing home trophies
is a feeling of jubilation. Let’s look at our victories in sports
this year.

With Girls Volleyball
rhe 1987-88 Girls Varsity Vol-
leyball team ended their season with
a record of 3 wins and 18 losses.
Ms. Lueken was disappointed in the
team because she claimed that the
team had so much talent and she felt
it was bad to let them throw away
that talent. Another factor that took
part in the number of losses in both
the J.V. and Varsity teams was
young and inexperienced players.
On account of this, some games that
were lost should have been won.
Team honors of The Most Valu¬
able Player went to Sue Semon, who
made the all-conference team, along
with her teammate Patti Revere who
was elected to the all-conference
and Most Improved Player, also.
The Junior Varsity Team ended
their season with a record of 8 wins
and 14 losses. Ms. Lueken has the
same feelings toward the J.V.
squad. Although their record was
better than that of the Varsity, she
still feels they could have done bet¬
ter.
Ms. Lueken feels that in order
for the team to have a winning sea¬
son next year, the team will have to
be more dedicated, and will need
better attitudes. She feels that they
must have a desire to make a com¬
mitment. That includes starting their
season in the summer so they can
have more practice time.

With I.L.S.C.
he 1987 Cross Country
Teams, both boys and girls were
successful this year. The boys start¬
ed the season with eleven runners.
Those runners compiled a confer¬
ence record of 5-0. They also added
conference and sectional titles to
that great season.
They were motivated by their
senior leadership that came from
Andy Sojka and Brian Stage. Also
the title of Most Improved Runner
was awarded to Dominic Vernengo.
Andy Sojka and Eric Cavanaugh
were awarded Most Valuable Run¬
ners.
The team is already looking for¬
ward to next year, because they feel
they will be strong. Next year they
will only be loosing two runners.
The girls, on the other hand,
took a third in conference. The
Chompions
bright spot of the season was a 3rd
place finish in each of the Gavit and
Clark invites.
Individually, Sophomore Sandy
Jansky was named to the all confer¬
ence team. Also looking forward to
next year’s season, like the boys, the
girls Cross Country Team will have all
but two runners returning.
The girls are hoping for a much
better team next year. Coach Larry
Stevens hopes that since this was his
first year as coach of the girls team,
that next year they will take confer¬
ence.
Morton's top three runners for
this season were Seniors Andy Sojka
and Brian Stage and Junior MVP Eric
Cavanaugh who took the First Place
Trophy at this year’s Lake Shore Con¬

With Governor's Basketball
sketball
he 1988 Boys Basketball
team ended with a record of 2-19,
with wins over Clark and Lake Sta¬
tion. It was Coach Tom Taylor’s
first year as coach, since coming
over from Portage, where he was
an assistant under Greg Curby.
This years most valuable
player was Brett Parker, who had
the best field goal and free throw
percentage along with most
points and most rebounds.
George Vasic recieved Best Atti¬
tude Award and the Most Im¬
proved Award went to Junior Dave
Snedden. Morton lost two games
this year that could have been
wins, a defeat at Munster against
a good Munster ball club and a tri¬
ple overtime heart breaking loss at
the hands of the Whiting Oilers.
Coach Tom Taylor felt that
the team had a sub-par year, but
progressed during the course of the
season.
The Governors lost in the first
game of the sectionals to Andrean
in the final game of the year. Next
year, Morton will be without the help
of Brett Parker, George Vasic, Tom
Montague, and Greg Ziel.
Coach Tom Taylor is looking
forward to having Eric Gruener,
Dave Snedden, Dual Crowley, Eric
Kolisz, Paul Lipski, Ron Gasior, and
the conference winning freshmen to
compile the varsity and Junior Var¬
sity next year. Still, Coach Taylor, re¬
alizes a ballhandling guard and a
post position player for next years
team is needed. He has hopes of re¬
gaining the strength of the basket¬
ball program which has fallen dor¬
mant.

record. The Junior Varsity also im¬
proved thier record. They finished

points a game which was an
improvement over last year. Laura
Phieffer led the Lady Govs with a 9.2
scoring average a game.

enced next year, the future will fook
bright for the Lady Govs basketball
program.
Next year the Lady Govs will
have to work hard to obtain a win¬
ning season. Several girls will be
moving up to the Varsity level. They
are sophomores Sandy Jansky, Jill
Campbell, and Lynn Berta.
The Junior Varsity squad was

UP FOR GRABS! - The Freshman basketball for a loose ball at mid court,
team shows their talent on the field as they go
F reshmon Program
Training For Later 1
l n our School we have sports that
are especially created to promote
and train the Freshman for later use
here at Morton High. These sports
are to get the new Freshman inter¬
ested so when they become upper¬
classmen they have the experince to
support the Junior Varsity and Var¬
sity teams. Freshman sports to train
the upcoming Varsity teams are
“Freshman Boys’ Football,’’
“Freshman Boys’ Basketball,’’ and
“Freshman Girls' Basketball.’’
This year our Frosh Boys Bas¬
ketball ended very well. They had a
final record of ten wins and eight
losses and they recieved the title of
1988 Conference. They were unde¬
feated in their regular conference
games. Also they were the Griffith-
High School Tournament Cham¬
pions.
This years Boys’ Football team
44 Frosh Program
did not do as well as the basketball
team did but ended the season with
a final record of one win and five
loses.
The Girls freshman basketball
team had enough involvement that
they were able to compile two
teams. The A team ended their sea¬
son with a record of two wins and
eight losses. The B team only played
three games but unfortunately they
were unable to pull out a victory.
They ended their season with a final
record of zero wins and three
losses.
These sports are not only to
train them, but are to experience
them so if they do well when they are
freshman when they become upper¬
classmen they can regain their titles
they earned at the freshman level for
the junior varsity and varsity levels.

Zaremba (125), Todd Midkiff (130),

(152), Joe Golec (160), and Art Rog¬
ers (189). Senior Todd Midkiff was
the only one out of the seven to ad¬
vance to state.

of our season was being runner-up
at regionals”, said Tony Adkins.
The co-captains were seniors;
Art Roqers. and Keith Zaremba.
Todd Midkiff was awarded most
valuable, while junior Joe Golec
received the most improved. The

the 1987-88 wrestling season.
Junior Joe Golec commented
that he felt that the Hammond High
School match was the toughest
match of the year. He said that,
“They were very hard to match up
with. Our young guys had to go up
against experienced ones.”

bers to make all conference.
Junior John Jackson was
asked how he felt about this years
team, his comment was “We did
good considering the small number
of people who stayed out for the
team.” His comment about his indi¬
vidual performance was “In the be¬
ginning I started off good, but I didn’t
drop my time as much as I wanted.”
There were two four year letter
winners, six three year letter win¬
ners, two two year letter winners
and seven first year letter winners.

Dig red machine
receives deserved respect
or the first time in six years
the 1987 Boys Baseball team won
the conference championship they
won a victory over Clark with a final
score of 7-1.
Morton ended up with a confer¬
ence record of 11-1, two games up
in the standings against Bishop Noll.
Their season started of with a
record of 2-4, but when conference
started they setted things straight
and pulled out a thirteen game win¬
ning streak.
On the fourteenth game of their
winning streak they could of
wrapped up the conference title with
a victory over Bishop Noll. But un¬
fortunately the “Big Red Machine”
ended up with their worst defensive
performance of the year.
On the comment of team hon¬
ors it was answered as no one play¬
er had carried the team throughout
the season.
There were very good perfor¬
mances by many different pitchers.
Junior Don Ward carried the team
early in the season. Senior Jim Tail-
Ion came with a no hitter. Junior
pitchers Eric Cavenaugh and Scott
Garvey won a tournament with back
to back victories.
Throughout the season the best
catcher in the area, Ron Needham,
had a great season. When East Chi¬
cago Central was averaging six
stolen bases a game Ron Needham
held them to none.

M orton Girls Softball
show that extra effort
or you men who think that
girls cannot be athletic, you are
wrong. Girls can be just as athletic
as boys. Take for instance softball
which is a spin-off from baseball ex¬
cept its on the easier side.
In the sport softball a larger ball
is used in which some people think
it is easier to catch. Also the bases
are closer together and the field is
smaller. Although you don’t see the
world series in Softball, to girls it is
still a sport that requires much skill
just like in Baseball.
This year’s 1987 girls Softball
Team was very different from previ¬
ous teams because of the amount of
underclassmen to join the team. Al¬
though this years team’s season
was below 500, the girls did their
very best to stick it out and come out
with a conference record of 4 wins
and 8 losses.
The reason for the season be¬
ing below 500 was due to the lack
of experience on the team. There
were only three seniors on the team.
There were Deanna Barnett, Tara
Sako, and Chris Lipski.
Team honors of most effective
players were awarded to Deanna
Barnett as the captain of the team,
and Tara Sako was voted the most
valuable player of the team by her
teammates.

With Governor's Track
he 1987 Boys Track team is
looking forward to next year due to
the fact that they felt they didn’t give
100 percent in all their meets. They
ended up with a 5-5 record and a
fourth in conference. Which was
held at Clark High School. Morton
received a fourth with 52 points be¬
hind Noil (1), ECC (2), and Hammond
High (3).
This year’s team was mainly
made up of Sophomores. Some of
the members of the team felt that if
everybody gave 100 percent they
might have done better and not con¬
sider it was an easy sport.
The Girl’s Track Team ended
their season with a record of 1-6. In
dual meets and a 1-4 in conference
and placed a fourth also in confer¬
ence tournaments.
Mrs. Herring, the girls’ track
team coach, commented that she
was hoping for a better record, but
some key injuries and ineligibilities
hurt the teams scoring.
Many of the girls qualified for
sectionals: Laura Phieffer in the 100
and 300 meter hurdles, Dee Dee
Lewis in the 100 meter dash, Kelly
Edinger in the 400 meter dash, and
Sandy Jansky and Wendy Nugent in
the 1600 and 3200 meter run.
Some of the most improved
members were Wendy Nugent with
her 2 mile time and also Sandy Jan¬
sky’s one-half mile improved, and
Laura Phiefferr’s 100 and 300 meter
low hurdles improved as the season
went along.

Go For The Hole In
One
With Morton Golf
Q
ome people think that golf is
a sport that requires much skill,
technique, and concentration. This
is true to a point. Many golfers use
this sport to relax. But many profes¬
sional golfers’ skills come from past
experiences. To them it is almost a
sixth sense.
The team practiced at Wicker
Park trying to stay away from the
tough obstacles, such as sand traps
and water holes to enjoy a good
game of golf.
The 1986-87 Morton Golf Team
ended their season on May 2nd. The
team did not have one of their better
seasons, but according to Coach
Kepler the golfers did have fun
throughout their season.
This year's team consisted of
two seniors and three juniors. Their
record was 3 wins and one loss, with
two wins against Hammond High.
According to Coach Kepler this
year’s competition was just about
the same as the years before, but
they had been shooting less than av¬
erage.
This year’s team honors went to
Vince Satterfield and Bill Smitka.
Vince Satterfield shot his personal
best on May 19th at Wicker Park
when he shot a 45. Bill Smitka also
did his personal best on May 19th
when he shot a 49. Both of these
scores were on a 36 par course.
These have been the best overall
scores on the team.

Academics plays a very important role at Morton Senior
High School. It is a lot of hard work, keeping your grades high
and giving up one’s spare time, to work on projects. But
through it all, one can still find some good humor. Let’s face
it, where else can you: color at our age? (map making in Geog¬
raphy) ... sing, dance, draw or toot a horn? (Concert Choir,
Ensemble, Art and Band)... cut up a frog without one’s moth¬
er yelling at him? (Biology) ... create disgusting smells and
receive a credit for it? (Chemistry)... and argue until your face
turns red? (Debate). All of that happens at school, of course.
This shows that if one pitches in a little effort, school can be
fun and educational at the same time.

English is Everywhere!
The One Subject a Student Cannot Escape.
English, English, everywhere, En¬
glish, English, everywhere, English!
How does one escape a subject that
seems as inevitable in this school as
death and taxes are in outside life? The
answer is, one does not escape learning
English but learns it, period. As long as
a student must learn this highly prized
but diffucult skill, exactly what are the
benefits? “The benefits of English are
helping one to communicate whether
speaking or writing! Without English one
would not be able to do so many of the
things one is doing now!” says Dr. Hazel
Stockdale, an English teacher who
knows the importance of the subject.
The benefits may be rich and useful,
but does this make learning proper En¬
glish any easier? Of course not, is the
usual reply but anything of value which
fulfills one’s life is worth working for. Yet
this is not to say that English classes are
not adventures, but they are so in their
own way. Where else would one learn to
write paragraphs not only correctly but
interestingly, learn exactly what a ger¬
und is, or read some classic books and
actually enjoy them in the process? It is
the English class that serves this pur¬
pose and helps preserve our language,
through its main medium which is us, the
students, who will later pass it on to fu¬
ture generations.
But, what of the students, who need
a little more help than others in learning
and the most important English skill...
reading? What happens to them? They
get the help they need from taking Re¬
medial Reading. The whole purpose of
the course is stated by Mr. Dennis Zel-
enke who teaches the class, "I want my
students to be made positive about
school and themselves! To be involved
with print so that what they see in print
is very important and that they can learn
from it, enjoy it, laugh from it, and know
that reading is still as important as any¬
thing else in life.’’ Taking into consider¬
ation what Mr. Zelenke said it does not
just cover reading but encircles English
as well. It is true, English is an important
as anything else in life and we only have
to realize this. — by Laura Dosado.

WASTING TIME-Students in Mr. Bolinger’s 1st hour,
seem to be spending their time foolishly but they real¬

“England and America are two
countries separated by the same lan¬
guage’’. This was observed by George
Bernard Shaw, and if this is true then the
gap between our country and other for¬
eign speaking countries must be wider.
Learning a Foreign Language is one of
the ways a student can help fill in the lan¬
guage gap instead of falling in it. The
three types of Foreign Languages a stu¬
dent may take at this school are Span¬
ish, French, and German. The classes
are difficult for a person especially if
one’s grammar is not the greatest but
with some incentive a student can make
it through if he really tries. Each class ex¬
poses a student to a different language,
culture, and idea of foreign people.
When a student shows exceptional tal¬
ent in learning a foreign language that
student may have the opportunity to
travel to the land of the language he
learned. This happened to Lisa Richard¬
son, who was a second year German
student who went to study in Germany
for a year. In the opposite respect Mor¬
ton High School received a foreign ex¬
change student, Silke Schierenbeck,
from Germany. When a student decides
he wants to learn another language that
student receives the chance to learn
about how his customs and language
differ from others.

ON WITH THE SHOW!-The Morton Choir struts

one of their concerts.
Expressing Ourselves
The Fine Arts Are The Makers Of New Talent
Band, Concert Choir, Ensemble,
and the different types of Fine Arts clas¬
ses all have one thing in common.
They are fun and help to develop the
different interests and talents a student
may have. In Concert Choir, a student
learns to sing correctly and the art of
showmanship. Usually the choir has at
least three major concerts and practices
singing daily. In Band a student learns
to play along with accompaniment while
perfecting their talents with the particu¬
lar instruments they are playing. The
Arts classes here at Morton teach not
only the basics of all art knowledge but
teach a student how to become an effec¬
tive art consumer.
Along with this a student learns how
to be creative by using his or her imagi¬
nation by assembling materials into a
project worth being proud of. Each one
of these different classes lets a student
show off or develop what talents they do
possess. When one takes a class out of
the Fine Arts section one gets to do
things he normally would not in a strict
school setting. These classes can be
taken just for fun or for the practice a
student may need in a developing talent.
Yet it must be remembered that when a
student decides to invest his time in the
Fine Arts he is still expected to do the
work assigned to him in class.

No Time To Waste
Industrial Arts Keeps
Combining physical dexterity and
mental know-how Industrial Arts is a
class for students who want to work with
their hands doing different projects. Just
like other classes, Industrial Arts
teaches its students different skills one
can build on. By putting together what
a student learns from one type of class
the same student can use those skills
and apply them in another class. Indus¬
trial Arts is also a good class to take if
one is interested in pursuing a future that
involves using one’s abilities to think
quickly while using one’s trained hands.
The courses an interested student might
take are almost as numerous as the pos¬
sible routes these classes may lead
Students On The Go
them. A few courses that a student might
want to invest his time in are Power Me¬
chanics, Drafting, Woods, Metals, and
Welding. Each one of these classes can
be taken at any time during the years one
spends at this high school. Any one of
these different skills issues a challenge
to each student. The classes do keep
even the most efficient student busy be¬
cause once a person gets one project
done another is waiting. This is not to
mention that a person gets a good skill
in the bargain. Industrial Arts is a class
that keeps a student busy no matter
which field he or she does.

Skills For Our Lives
Students See A Glimpse Of The Business World
The Business world is a mystery to
most who have no part in it but any stu¬
dent at Morton High School can have a
glimpse by taking any of the Business
courses offered here. A student can
start just about anywhere though the ini¬
tial class most taken is Keyboarding or
Typing 1-2. Some other classes a stu¬
dent may wish to take are General Busi¬
ness, Accounting, or Shorthand. In
Shorthand a student is introduced to a
whole new language which takes the
place of usual letters and replaces them
with curved lines and dots. In Account¬
ing class a student learns how to bal¬
ance books for a business and at the
same time learns a much needed skill in
the business world today. A student in
Keyboarding learns the positions of the
letters and the numbers on an electric
typewriter. In Typing 1-2 the learning
goes a step further when a student prac¬
tices how to build their speed on typing
assignments, letters and tests. Folding
envelopes and learning the different
styles of typed letters is really just a be¬
ginning of a typing class. A student also
learns how to deal with the usual office
pressures. What a student gets out of a
business class could help them later in
life even if they do not go into business.

Whether one is ready or not one will

the staples of everyday living. This does
not mean everyone will be caught creat¬
ing new variations of old left overs or be¬
ing crushed under a mountain of dirty
laundry, but the truth is that most of us
will. A Home Economics class could give
one the background for the perils of ev¬
eryday life. “I think the students will find
that the Home Economics class that they
take today will help them later in life,’’
says Home Economics teacher Mrs.
Mudra, “Each class in the Home Eco¬
nomics Department offers many skills
for life.” The Home Economics Depart-
pendent Living, Child Development,
Foods 1 and 2, and Sewing. Classes
in the Home Economics Department
are not required and can be taken as
electives. A student in Independent
Living explores what it takes to live on
one's own and how to basically sur¬
vive. Foods 1 and 2 instructs students
in the art of cooking. Sewing teaches
students how to transform simple
cloth into wearable garments. Child
Development investigates the devel¬
opment of a child and the critical part
the parent plays.

A Quest for knowledge
Students Discover Enlightenment in Science
There has never been a truce be¬
tween knowledge and ignorance. Sci¬
ence itself is a quest for questions a per¬
son cannot answer. Science is the kind
of course that leads students to find the
discoveries about the world around
them and how it works. Science is a
powerful combination of all the arts of
schooling that has one basic purpose
which is to explain everything and to
make it easier. There are many courses
taught here at Morton High School rang¬
ing to the simple to the advance. Health
and Safety is a required course that all
Freshmen must take. Biology and
Chemistry are two classes that are a bit
more complicated but are rewarding in
the process. Botany, Honors Biology,
Physical Science, and Physics are spe¬
cial classes a student may find an inter¬
est in. Zoology is a class in which a stu¬
dent learns more about animals inside
and out. In Honors Biology one learns
about what animals really think and their
behavior patterns. Physics is a class
which teaches the student about how to
put physical and chemical happenings
together in Mathematical formulas.
Some of the Science courses are for a
single semester, while others are for a
whole year. Any of these courses offer
new and exciting experiences to the
people who are interested.

The Future is Now
Good Math Skills are Built on the Basics.
Mathematics for the talented few
are easy but for the rest of us, Math is
difficult. It can be said that Mathematics
is like a crazed donkey, just when we fi¬
nally get a firm seat on the beast, we
usually get thrown off. Why do we again
and again try to perfect our Math skills?
This question is answered easily enough
by the reason that Mathematic skills are
vitally important in the modern world to¬
day. Many of the sciences that make our
lives more bearable are supported by
Mathematical theories. Math has be¬
come essential to our existence. Many
doors that are open now would be
closed if Math did not exist.
The world depends on Math to
make it run efficiently. Mathematics are
that important in our lives. Without them
there would not be any of the machines
we now have that make life easier to live.
We would not be able to build the rocket
ships we have now. Mathematics is a
skill that is gradually acquired. One does
not know all of what Math is about by
just doing one problem or taking one
course. Math is like life, most of the time.
It is a pain in the neck. Yet, it must be
remembered that Mathematics is truly a
craft that takes time and rewards all by
teaching patience to the brave.

Physical Education Aids Students’ Health
The sky is a beautiful blue, people
are running around you screaming
about some flying spherical object that
is doomed to land on your head. The
thought hits you — Is this school? Is
gym really part of school? Gym is as
much of school life as the grubby tennis
shoes one wears on one’s feet. It is hard
to believe that gym teaches a student im¬
portant qualities, but according to Mrs.
Lueken, a gym teacher, it does. “I try to
teach discipline whether they take part
in the motivation or not. I try to push
them to do things they are supposed to
do.” Motivation in gym is hard especially
when the student is not athletically in¬
clined but the gym program at this
school assures that everyone will get a
chance to participate. Some of the
sports played in gym are basketball,
baseball, volleyball, football, soccer,
tennis, badminton, weight-lifting, and
swimming. All these are given to the stu¬
dent to enjoy and help condition his
body. Everyone hopes when he leaves
gym he is a little more fit then when he
began. Gym is like anything else it is a
different experience for each person. To
some, gym is perfect bliss especially
when it is held outdoors. To others, gym
is like being thrown into a river of slime.

History is Made Today
History is a Never-Ending Process
No one can really guess what came
first — the chicken or the egg, but in the
case of history and the social studies
teacher, one can be assured that history
came first and the social studies teacher
not long afterwards. In these fast and fran¬
tic times, the study of how ancient people
lived and worked can sometimes be relax¬
ing but the test day following can be a pain.
Even if a student could learn all the facts
and dates of history there would still be
more to learn because everyday of any life
is part of history. No matter how small or
uninteresting or even useless a life may be
that life may play some part in the making
of what history is today and may be tomor¬
row. Now while we do the things we are
assigned to do, there are important things
that are shaping what we will do with our
futures and these important things no mat¬
ter how small or unimportant will change
our lives. The whole point of learning histo¬
ry in school is to see what mistakes and
successes other people have tried in their
lives. It is in this way that we can see the
path more clearly concerning our own
loves and maybe not make so many mis¬
takes. It is by this evidence that makes his¬
tory a kind of never ending process. When
we finally do leave school the history of
who we are and what we wish to accom¬
plish will fill our everyday lives. The history
we learn now in school will help us out later
in life and maybe guide us to what will real¬
ly make us happy in our lives.

CHECKING - Christy Vlaky looks over Roland
Galdana's papers as part of her work as a Peer
Tutor.
Peer Tutors Open Up The World For Others
Being A Friend
Students helping students. That is
what Peer Tutoring is all about. As one
of the more challanging opportunities
here at Morton attracts dedicated, intelli¬
gent, and understanding people. A Peer
Tutor not only has to be a teacher but a
friend as well. Both students benefit
from this relationship and both learn
something about themselves. “It’s fun
to see the kids doing something that
they have not been able to do before, like
dialing their phone numbers or remem¬
bering their adresses. Something that
you have been working hard with them
to see them do that job it makes you very
happy because it was really hard for
them to do,” replies Kay Ferrer. The
Peer Tutor program started as an effort
to help students with severe handicaps
meet students of their own age. “The
special education students benefit in a
lot of ways. They learn 'Social Skills’.
They learn how to form relationships
and how to be friends and the students
learn how to treat them as one would
treat a friend.” explained Mrs. Medwitz,
a special education teacher. As a tutor
a student recieves one hour credit in So¬
cial Studies. Students become Peer Tu¬
tors because they enjoy being among
people and like the students they are
working with.

Spreading
News
T he Publications depart¬
ment is made up of two
separate groups; the
Mortonite, and the Top Hat.
The Mortonite staff met dai¬
ly during second hour and the
Top Hat staff met during sixth
hour. Even though they only
had one assigned hour of the
school day, that didn’t mean
that was the only hour they did
their work. There was a lot of
hard work spent in making the
yearbook and the newspaper.
Some people even gave up
their lunch hour to work on
their assignments.
Putting together a yearbook
and newspaper wasn’t some¬
thing that could have been
done in one day, most staffers
had work to do every night at
home and in their spare time
during school.
The money that they collected
from their fundraisers went into
their accounts to help with the
many expenses there were.
The honors of these groups of
students are recognized in an
honorary society for Journal¬
ism. This group is called the
Quill and Scroll. Their are certain
grade requirements to be induc¬
ted also, it is an honor for a jour¬
nalism student to be recognized
in this group. Also, another re¬
quirement, is that you must be
on Top Hat staff for a certain
amount of time.

Song
The Vocal Organization is
made up of three active
groups, the girls choir, the
concert choir, and the Ensem¬
ble. Each had its own class
during the day. The Girls’
Choir had first hour, the Con¬
cert Choir had second hour,
and the Ensemble had third
hour.
The Ensemble is also
known as the Vocal Ambassa¬
dors. In order for one to be in
Ensemble, one must try out
for it. A try out consists of a
dance routine, and a song to
sing. They perform anywhere
in the community when asked.
They never ask for money for
doing it, but most people give
them a donation of twenty or
thirty dollars.
The Ensemble and the Con¬
cert Choir went to Scott Middle
School where they did a per¬
formance for the eight graders.
They also had their annual
Christmas Concert in which the
Concert Choir, Ensemble, Girls’
Choir and the Band all partici¬
pated.
Mr. Morrison stepped in this
past year as the new vocal
teacher. It took some time for
the students to get used to him
and for him to get used to them.
They pulled through it and they
are doing great. One of the dif¬
ferences from last year is they
sang to a piano, now they sing to
pre-recorded music.

The Morton High School
Band is more than just an after
school activity. Each member
of the band had one hour of
their school day dedicated to
band class. The class was
held only during fifth hour.
Playing an instrument takes
years of practice. This isn’t
just some club one can just
decide to join and donate a
few hours. Most members
have had years of practice to
play an instrument.
The band is full very talent¬
ed musicians who may con¬
sider it a hobby or even those
who may want to take it up
professionally.
They also have fundraisers
to raise money for new items.
The band performed in
many places. They performed
during halftime at the football
and basketball games. They
also performed at the Christmas
Concert that was given by the
Vocal Organization. They also
marched in many parades.
Some of them were the Little
Red School House parade, the
Morton Homecoming parade, a
few Christmas parades, and a
few fourth of July parades. They
also participated in the City
Wide Pest here at Morton during
the spring.
Some band members went to
Riley elementary school to per¬
form for the students there.
This past year, the number of
people in the band decreased
compared to the previous years,
but this past year it was involved
in many more activities.

Raising Yell
The Booster Club cheer¬
leaders and the Poms are the
spirit of the school.
The Booster Club met twice
a week. They make posters
and hung them all over the
school to arouse the students
enthusiasum. The Boster
Club is full of members who
have dedicated their spare
time after school.
They also sponsored the
yearly ‘Powder Puff game. It
is a flag-football game be¬
tween the Juniors and the
Seniors.
The cheerleaders have
three groups for the three
separate levels.
The Varsity cheered at the
varsity games, Football and
Basketball.
The Junior Varsity squad
performed at all the JV games
and during the second half of
varsity games. There were five
people on their squad, one ju¬
nior, and four sophomores.
This past year there was a
boost in the number of the fresh¬
man cheerleaders. Out of the
nineteen girls who tried out,
fourteen of them made it. They
cheered at the freshman games
and were required to go to the
varsity games in uniform.
The Poms were selected after
the football season this year.
The reason for it was, the spon¬
sors wanted more time to re-or¬
ganize and replan everything
from last year. They selected 24
girls for the squad, and a chore¬
ographer.

STUDENTS
MAKE THE
EFFORT
The Home Economic Club’s
is to learn about everything
from clothing to centerpieces.
The club has had a big turn
about this year. They partici¬
pated in writing letters to the
Hammond Nursing Home to
bring themselves to relate to
the elder folks. The members
helped the elders to cope with
everyday life.
The Chess Club’s purpose
is to participate in tourna¬
ments around the area to im¬
prove their chess skills. The
club has had a candy fundrais¬
er this past year to participate
outside of the state. They
meet twice a week in Mr. Bol¬
lingers room where they also
hold their own inschool tour¬
naments.
The Photo Club, sponsored
by Herr Meister, Learns every¬
thing about photography.
President Mary Santana and
Vice President Roxanne Ceis-
lak help teach their members
parts of the camera. The club
was very active this year, with
having to shoot passport pic¬
tures for people going to Ger¬
many. They also had a suc¬
cessful fundraiser with key
chains. Most of all, they en¬
joyed viewing the city of Chi¬
cago to take pictures there.
The Timmerettes enjoyed
keeping time for our swim¬
mers at the home meets. Each
girl took a lane, equiped with
a watch, to help the individual
swimmer on their own lane.
The girls agreed it was a fun
experience.

UP-The weightlifting club
pumped up this past year with
their new “lift-a-thon”. The
weightlifters took pledges
from their friends, relatives,
students, and teachers. They
then received money that was
pledged for each pound they
lifted.
DOWN-Ski Club is a down¬
hill ski club. They want to add
cross country skiing to their
plans for next year. They took
many trips to the Pines, and
Timber Ridge.
The club collects dues and
keeps costs down by spon¬
soring a candy sale and a
dance. Their dance was co¬
sponsored with the Speech
and Debate.
ALL AROUND-is exactly
where the Caving club has
gone this year.
They caved in a seven mile ra¬
dius of Bloomington, Indiana.
This past year was the first year
in three years in which the Cav¬
ing Club was active, due to Mr.
Weis’ unfortunate back injury.
The club also serviced the
people by cleaning up the caves
while they were down there.
They picked up the litter off the
floor of the cave and then put it
in its right place. Caving is like
exploring an underground
world, according to Mr. Weis,
and is also a very fun experi¬
ence.
The cost of these caving trips
were forty dollars a person. This
money paid for their hotel and
transportation. They had to
bring their own money for food.

Helpful
People
S.A.D.D. (Students Against
Drunk Driving) and Operation
Snowball are two very impor¬
tant organizations. They let
students show how they feel
about students using drugs,
and driving drunk. These stu¬
dents try very hard to spread
the word around that you do
not need to drink and drive, or
use drugs. They had a dance
this past November to raise
money to go to lectures and
conferences on these sub¬
jects.
On October 24th and 30th
they attended a state confer¬
ence in Indianapolis about
driving under the influence of
alcohol.
Student Association and
ICE/COE are also important
groups in our school. The Stu¬
dent Association sponsors
many activities that show our
school spirit. They sponsored
the Culture Fest held before
school started, and they also
sponsored the yearly Inaugural.
This years theme was ‘A Night
On The Town’.
The Student Association
president also gives us the daily
announcements in the first ten
minutes of second hour to let us
know what’s going on.
The ICE/COE program allows
students to attend work as well
as school. At work their boss’
act as teachers and give them
their grades. This program,
bought to our school by Mr.
Speelmon a few years back,
teaches the students responsi¬
bilities of handling a job as well
as going to school.

The Future Problem Solvers
is a group brought to Morton this
past year by Miss Draskovich.
This team brainstorms prob¬
lems that are given to them in the
form of a fuzzy situation. After
brainstorming, they pinch the
problem with the most impact and
find a reasonable solution to it.
Then they send it to the judges
through the mail.
They are graded on thier
problem solving ability and on the
effectivness of their solution.
Acid Rain was their first prob¬
lem: What could it do? What could
be done to prevent it? Their next
subject was space traveling. On
their solution, the senior team
scored 500% better then the first
time, and the freshmen team
scored 200% better.
Their next problem was the
regional qualifying situation. It
dealt with the elderly of the future.
Maybe one day these solu¬
tions might actually help us pre¬
vent this.

What’s hot? Well, this past year
it seems as though Ski Club was,
with its boost in membership and
greater interests in activities. This
past year they were much more
active than previous years. Presi¬
dent Andy Zawadski thinks they
are more organized this year due
to the problems that have risen in
the past years.
They also had two fundraisers:
| a dance, co-sponsored by Speech
and Debate, they also sold candy.
They are only a downhill club
right now, but they may become
both with the growing interest in
the club.
Our newest club to Morton was
the Health Careers club. It was
started by our school nurse, Mrs.
Perez.
In this club, Mrs. Perez will edu¬
cate the members in health ca¬
reers and different conditions.
Mrs. Perez’s long term goal is to
teach them CPR. Along with learn¬
ing about all these things, they
have fundraisers. These fund¬
raisers will start a fund to help
those students of Morton that are
sick, and need financial help with
doctor bills. It will be confidential.

106 Faces Division
Morton High School has a variety of young people. Each
day a student wonders, “What am I going to do after gradua¬
tion?” This question comes to the minds of everyone, although
it is most common for juniors and seniors. They’re reaching
the point were childhood is going to be left behind and maturity
is one step away. Juniors have the feeling of one more year,
while seniors go through the preparations of growing up.
Some will continue and go on to college, while others will go
on to get a job. Each and every one of us will miss the good
old days of our high school years, by looking through the mem¬
orable pages of faces.
Wedding Bells
Are Ringing
This has been a very good
year for two of our administrators
and two of our teachers here at
Morton. Mr. Steve Stavros, and
Miss Ramona Engel were married
on October 2,1987 on Homecom¬
ing day. Their wedding was a com¬
plete surprise to Ms. Engel. She
recieved a message telling her to
come to the teacher’s lobby. She
walked in and someone
said, “Welcome to your wedding.”
They were married by the mayor
Mr. Tom McDermott. The wedding
was very casual with all plans
made by Steve himself.
Also Mr. Dan Mayerik and Ms.
Teresa Kline were married on No¬
vember 21st, at Valporaiso Uni¬
versity Chapel of the Resurection.
The ceremony was a traditional
Christian ceremony. They had a
large old fashion ethnic Slovack-
Polish wedding reception. The
best man was Dan’s brother Rich¬
ard and the matron of honor was
Teri’s sister Patrica. Teri’s daugh¬
ter Kari was the flower girl and her
son Nick was ring barrer. The ju¬
nior groomsman was Dan’s neph¬
ew and godchild Richie.

“COME ON DOWN"!! - Mr. David Safst
nounces the graduating class of 1987.
Here at Morton the teachers are
not here just to teach but also to en¬
joy the fun and activities and really
get involved with the students.
Some of the activities in which
teachers participate in are: being
coaches, and sponsors for classes
and groups or clubs. Alot of stu¬
dents feel that teachers participate
in these activities because they get
paid for it, however, they do not.
Teachers deserve credit for all their
work in planning and time they put
in out side of class. So next time you
recieve an assignment to do just re¬
member you only do it once and your
teacher does it for about 25 times for
5 classes.

Draskovich’s Dream House
Miss Draskovich, as some may
know, is a Math teacher here at Mor¬
ton. She has a very interesting hob¬
by, which is building a house, not a
real house but a doll house, it is very
large in size and has much effort and
time put into it with very detailed
work. It has everything imaginable.
Some of the rooms include an; or¬
chard room, treasure room, and a
his and hers master bedroom, and
a room with a Christmas tree in it ail
year round. Also the usual rooms
such as the kitchen, bathroom, living
room, parlor, sitting room, and an
addition which will include a ball
room, and servants quarters. The
barbeque is complete with every¬
thing including little miniature cans
of Dr. Pepper, hotdogs and hambur¬
gers, frying pans and spatulas. Near
the barbeque pit is the jacuzzi.
Miss Zlanta Draskovich has put
several years into this. The house it¬
self fills an entire spare bedroom in
her home. She hopes some day to
show her house to the public.

This year's Senior class has accomplished many things
during the year.
The class of '88 received the spirit stick during the
homecoming spirit competition as a result of a lot of dedi¬
cation ond hard uuork on their float, "Raised on Radio''.
The senior girls also led the senior pouuder puff team
to their traditional victory.
Sponsors Mr. David Sofstrom of the English deport¬
ment and Mr. Michael Koczmorczyk of the Industrial Rrts
deportment worked very hard to prepare this doss uuith
the spirit and leadership that seniors need.
"For os long os I con remember. I've always looked
foruuord to my lost year of high school. Now that it's here
ond gone. I'll always remember the things I accomplished
my senior year,"commented senior Tobitho Dixon.
Senior lisa Smeberg added, “The best port of high
school was having the advantages that come with taking
it easy. My senior year was the best year with high school
because I hod a lot of time to spend with Tom and my
friends. I'll really miss Morton a lot ond especially oil of my
teachers. Good luck to oil."

Class of ’89
The Junior class is all
ready for their Senior
year. Some of the Seniors
to be said, “I can’t wait to
be a Senior. I’ve looked
forward to being leaders
for years now, to be the
UPPER CLASS MEN,”
said Amy Turner.
Daniel Thompson said,
“I can not wait to be a Se¬
nior either. I want to walk
down the aisle to get my
diploma with my name on
it and prance around my
parents looking proud.”
The Junior officers
were unable to take a pic¬
ture for this page so they
will just be mentioned
here: President, Kathy
Stevens; Vice President,
Dee Bednar; Secretary
Gina Rivera and Treasur¬
er Patti Revere. They are
all leaders and represent
their classmates very well.
The council has done
many things this year in¬
cluding a bonfire, Thurs¬
day night during Home¬
coming Week, which was
the first time in many
years this has happened
at Morton or any other
school in this district.
They also have had sever¬
al fundraisers and saved
quite a bit of money on
their account to put to¬
wards the Senior Prom.
The sponsors for the Ju¬
nior class are Mr. Larry
Kocal and Mrs. Turk. I
hope the Juniors have a
great Senior year.

Adding to the party of life is the opportunity to drive.
After one learns how to drive they will not have to worry
about how they’re going to get home, how to get to and
from a basketball, football, or a soccer game, and how
to just get around. It also leaves the option to just
KROOZE around with friends when there is nothing to
do.
Although being able to drive can be alot of fun, it
brings with it a lot of responsibilities. Such as gas , car
insurance, taking care of it, paying monthly payments,
and just keeping it up and clean. All the students may
not have their own cars now, but in the future or in their
Senior year they may be owning one or just using mom
and dad’s.
Many car accidents have occured for many various
reasons. Sometimes bad weather, people not paying at¬
tention, speeding, or just reckless driving. Owning your
own car, you must obey traffic laws, even though you
think you are a good driver you still have to watch out
for those drivers who don’t pay attention or are driving
under the influence.
There are many advantages to owning your own car,
or just having your licence and using your parents car.
Some of these are; you can come and go as you please,
drive to school, drive around at night with friends, or just
take it out on a nice sunny day. There are also a lot of
disadvantages. You have to maintain your vehicle at all
times. You have to take care of it, you must have insur¬
ance in this day and age as there are many thefts, and
vandalism going around. You have to always make sure
there is enough oil, transmisson fluid, water, and most
of all gas in your car at all times.
Anyway there are a lot of things you need to know
about a car than just how to drive it. Every one drive safe¬
ly and have a good year!! By Lisa Smeburg
ABSOLUTELY AN ACCIDENT - This car was once in an alright position
to drive, but after an accident that would have been stopped is right now
at a junk yard not being driven. Please be careful when driving and wear
your seat belts.
CLASS OF ’90
The Sophomores are glad
that they are finally over the
title name of “Freshman”.
For some of the upper class-
men they' feel that sopho¬
mores are still at the bottom
of that long ladder of which
we all know that the final step
of that ladder is being a SE¬
NIOR. The Sophomore class
is very enthused that they can
finally walk the halls here at
Morton without the word
freshman being used against
them. For some of the sopho¬
mores this was not a prob¬
lem. Either they grew up with
upper classmen or had older
brothers or sisters that they
could hang around with.
The Sophomore class ar¬
ranged many fund raisers
throughout the year. They
ranged from Halloween
suckers in October to
Spree candy sales in the
Winter months.
These sales will enable
the Sophomores to
sponsor next year’s Ju¬
nior/Senior Prom. Al¬
though the Sophomores
had many fund raisers,
they still face the problem
of not enough money.
They feel that this prob¬
lem of not enough money
can be solved if they have
more involvement and
have more than that
same handful of kids sell¬
ing the candy and partici¬
pating in the various fund
raisers.

Class of ’91
The class of 91 seems
to stand out in the crowd.
Their attendants for the
Homecoming Weekend
were Tina Vasic and Sean
Anderson. They were
chosen to lead the whole
Freshman class.
They had a few fund¬
raisers to put in their
Freshman account for
when it comes their time
to hold a Junior Senior
Prom.
Class sponsors are
Mrs. Stavros and Athene
Stevens, who have put
much time and effort into
the class of ’91 and much
time into the entire school.
The Freshman Council
is Rachael Agosto, Denise
Davis, Anatoli Stravopoul-
os, Allison Kwaitowski,
Brandi Roger, Daphny
Homco, Tina Vasic. Dean¬
na Beagle, and Patti Axa-
rides. All whom are very
qualifed for the council
and to lead the Freshman
class.
A freshman was quoted
assaying, "Iwaitedforthis
time to come when I would
be able to go to the same
school and walk down the
same hallways with the
upper classmen and to
participate in the sports I
want to.” The class of ’91
will go far. I think and hope
they achieve everything
they want to in life and in
the future.

Advertising helps pay for the party supplies of our yearbook,
such as; colored senior pictures, special tool line, and art work.
Selling ads takes a lot of time and effort. Going from place to place
trying to get a person to buy an ad, takes a great deal of courage.
You have to have a good attitude and a smile at all times, to make
all the effort worth while. Your cheerful laugh will not get the job
done all the time. You have to use your charm and wit and believe
you’re the best salesperson around. If that doesn’t work and all
else fails you have to get down on your knees, flash on the puppy

SCHOOL SPIRIT - Dur¬
ing a pep rally, the
students at MHS ex¬
press themselves in
many ways. Some
just sit bach, while
others stand up and
cheer.
PUNCHING IN - Senior

punches in at his
place of employ-
CONIC ON - friends
gather together
around before
school to make
plans for lunch and
after school.
GRRDURTION
Graduating is o time
for beginning or
starting life for
some. Most will go
on to college but
some will work.

Closing 187
We must come to another glorious end,
as we close out the 87-88 school year, just
as all parties must come to an end. The
graduating seniors have pushed their final
step to graduation. We have laughed and
we have cried, but know it’s time to say
good-bye. Some of us may have a great
feeling of satisfaction and completion from
completing another year full of trying times.
Every class, from freshmen to seniors, has
a special place in their hearts for Morton Se¬
nior High. We will all remember the hallowed
hallways, where we shared our deepest
secrets and our most vibrant announce¬
ments. For many of us, the party has just
begun. The graduating seniors will be start¬
ing their lives. Many will go on to college,
while some may find employment. Respon¬
sibilities for them will increase. The 1987-88
Top Hat Party Is Over.

There are many who will complain
about this book, because there are natu¬
ral born critics. I have no true com¬
plaints. I feel, the completing of this
book, is an accomplishment within itself.
There are many who do not know what
it takes to put a yearbook together. They
are usually the complainers. I would like
to thank my staff. We all put this book
together, just as a team works together.
My special thanks goes to Mrs. Jan Gil-
lard, our advisor. The book would not be
finished if she were not here. She did ev¬
erything from advising to taking photos
and helping with the copy. Mr. Bob Hen¬
ning, who helped us with layout designs
and choosing the theme deserves a spe¬
cial thanks, also. He is the representa¬
tive from the yearbook company. Mr.
Jim Bis also deserves a special thanks.
He is the professional photographer
from Bodies. He did all of the senior por¬
traits and some photos throughout the
book. Lisa Dosado and Wendy Nugent
deserve a thanks for their special art¬
work.
We chose the theme "LET’S PAR¬
TY" because we felt our style needed a
little change. The same thing each year
gets boring. Do not ever forget "LET’S
PARTY”. It was a fun book. Thanks to
everyone who pitched in and gave a
helping hand.
